Operation Strawberry Field

The DDS today announced a new exercise to begin next week and expected to be carried out during August. The exercise will take place in the space around Starbot and it is suspected the choice of venue is to enable the DDS to give the 7 Sa Sao a show of strength. DDS ships will operate with Starbotian vessels in a number of combat exercises, the Starbotians both providing "friendly" and "enemy" elements. A training frigate is also to attend and will be manned by cadets near the end of their training to give them some near-combat experience.

The fleet will be commanded by Von Kane and consist of :

D151 Velocity (flag)
C123 Boson
F113 Quarternary
F115 Cainozoic
F147 Sea Of Oskhotsk
T103 Piscis Australis (training detachment)
A107 Starlifter
A143 Liftmaster (see below)
